What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 8 - 2/7x?

2 answers:

7 0

The slope of the current line is -2/7. To find the slope of the line perpendicular to it, find the negative reciprocal of the slope. So it would be 7/2. The y intercept or the b would remain the same so the equation would be y=7/2x+8. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The slope of this line would be 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you need to know that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we take the slope of the original line (-2/7) and change the sign to get 2/7. Now we flip the fraction to get 7/2, which would be your new slope.

Which point is located at (–1, 3)? On a coordinate plane, point A is 1 unit to the right and 3 units down. Point B is 3 units to

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Point C.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the x-value is negative, the point is moving left. In this case, the point is moving left 1.

When the y-value is positive, the point is moving up. In this case, the point is moving up 3.

Only Point C fits the description.

HELP ASAP!!! Identify the factored form of each polynomial

Elenna [48]

Answer:

9x2 +42x + 24 is (x + 4) (9x + 6)

9x2 + 30x + 24 is (3x + 6) (3x + 4)

9x2 + 58x + 24 is (9x + 4) (3x + 4)

I tried reversing it, instead of doing these - 9x2 + 58x + 24 I did (9x + 4) (3x + 4)

Lisa ran around a rectangular field 150 m long and 50 m wide at an average speed of 100 m/min. How long did she take to complete

Anarel [89]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To make one round of the field, Lisa will have to cover the entire perimeter of the field.

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w) Where L = length and W = width.

The multiplication of 2 means two lengths and widths that each rectangle has. The perimeter of the field = 2(150 +50) = 400m

Lisa's average running speed = 100m/min

The time taken to cover one round of the field or one perimeter of the field = 400/100 = 4 minutes.

To cover 5 rounds or 5 perimeters Lisa will take 5x4 minutes = 20 minutes.
